Lesson 2: This is where I stand.

Directions: Read the following paragraphs taken from the Keynote Speech of Secretary Roy
A. Cimatu during the 3rd Philippine Environment Summit (www. denr.gov.ph, 2020). Try
summarizing each paragraph by identifying the main idea and the supporting details. Follow
the format below:

Paragraph 1.
Our environment is what we make it. Unfortunately, we have not yet achieved that level of
united consciousness needed to save our environment from the problems that humanity has
caused. Some simply don’t care. They dump their wastes anywhere convenient or tolerate others
who do so. They waste water, mindless that many others lack access to water. Worse, some
oppose measures to enforce environmental laws, and belittle government achievements in
rehabilitating our damaged environment—achievements that did not come cheap, because we
have lost the lives of forest rangers and other officials in the process.

SUMMARY

Paragraph 2.
This 3rd Philippine Environment Summit hopes to address this divisiveness—by building
unity among all stakeholders of the environment. Unity is crucial. This 3rd Environment Summit’s
call for unity is not new. It was made during the First Summit in February 2016 in Metro Manila,
and at the Second Summit in March 2018 in Cebu City. Our envisioned unity is taking quite long to
achieve that is why we are intensifying this call.

I. Read the following paragraph taken from the journal, Frontiers for Young Minds. Identify the
main idea and the supporting details. Follow the format below.

We often forget how much humans depend on nature. Even city-dwellers living in
modern skyscrapers need air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat, all of which are
provided by nature. True, you can buy bottled water and ready-to-eat meals in supermarkets,
but they were not produced there. Some fruits and vegetables, for example, only grow in
tropical countries and cross the globe in refrigerated ship containers, to arrive just ripe to your
local supermarket. All drinking water ultimately comes from a natural source, since we still do
not have the technology to manufacture large amounts of water in the laboratory. The same
applies to the air we breathe, which is purified and oxygenated by plants. So, when we speak
about preserving nature, we are really also talking about preserving ourselves.
